Robots are known as the "jewel in the crown of manufacturing" and are one of the important industrial fields for developing new quality productivity. Data shows that by 2023, Guangzhou will have more than 3,000 robot and intelligent equipment companies, and the robot production volume ranks among the top three cities in the country. The industry scale has reached 160 billion yuan, supporting the radiation of Guangzhou's 5 trillion yuan industrial output value. In recent years, Guangzhou's tax department has actively implemented the "Robot +" Application Action Implementation Plan, providing "package, one-stop, customized" services for upstream, midstream and downstream enterprises in the industry, promoting the full release of tax policy dividends, and injecting tax momentum into the high-quality development of the economy and society.
Breakthrough the core "joint"The advantages of independent research and development are highlighted
Guangzhou has a solid manufacturing foundation and has gradually formed a robot industry chain covering upstream reducers, controllers, servo motors and other key components, midstream robot bodies, and downstream system integration, which has a natural advantage in accelerating the expansion of robot applications. Among the key components of robots, the importance of "joints" is self-evident. If robots want to have strong, firm and stable grip, they must focus on independent research and development of the core functional components of "joints".
Guangzhou CNC Equipment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Guangzhou CNC"), which is known as "Xinsong in the north and GNC in the south" in the field of robotics, is an enterprise with completely independent intellectual property rights in the field of key components. Its independently developed six-joint industrial robot GSK RB series industrial robots integrate important achievements of national science and technology plan projects. The GSK RB500 robot has broken the long-term monopoly of heavy-duty industrial robots by foreign countries, and its maximum snatch load is 500kg.
"We started to explore the international market in 2005. Our products are currently exported to South Africa, Indonesia, Mexico, South Korea, the United Arab Emirates and other countries and regions. In the first half of this year, our export sales reached nearly 20 million yuan, an increase of more than 53% year-on-year." Guan Suiqiang, business manager of Guangzhou CNC's International Business Department, said. In the process of Guangzhou CNC's expansion into the international market, the Guangzhou tax department provided strong support. "In recent years, the processing of export tax rebates has been accelerating, which has greatly improved the capital circulation and utilization efficiency of enterprises. We are a first-class export tax rebate enterprise. Generally, the tax rebate can be received within 3 working days. Moreover, now all intelligent audits and electronic filing of documents are carried out, and the processing procedures are simple and fast. In the first half of this year, we enjoyed nearly 2.3 million yuan in export tax refunds. The tax department also sent us a compilation of export tax refund (exemption) policies for easy reference, to ensure that enterprises enjoy all the benefits they should enjoy, actively participate in "Made in China", and go overseas with peace of mind."
Great ability to go up and down the sky and seaApplication scenarios continue to expand
In the city skyline, the "Lingkong K3" intelligent cleaning robot is performing high-altitude cleaning operations with its compact and lightweight body, and in the endless deep sea, the "Taurus" submarine cable laying robot is laying submarine cables in an orderly manner. High-altitude operations, deep-sea exploration... As the breadth of robot applications continues to expand, the tentacles of human exploration of the world continue to extend.
"In the past, our domestic deep-sea submarine cable laying robots basically relied on imports. After research and development, we can say that we have now made a breakthrough in this key technology!" Looking back on the difficulties along the way, Ma Yiming, founder of Deep Sea Sapiens (Guangzhou) Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Deep Sea Sapiens"), said with emotion, "The Taurus robot is the first domestically produced, Asia's largest power crawler self-propelled submarine cable laying robot developed by Deep Sea Sapiens. It is designed to adapt to a maximum water depth of 500 meters and can achieve submarine operations that humans cannot complete personally. "'Taurus' means 'tough, stable, practical, and strong'. It also represents the countless challenges and efforts behind this milestone achievement. In the process of research and development, we faced many difficulties such as high-end technology blockade and complex marine environment. At the critical moment of difficulty, the real help of tax incentives effectively reduced the financial pressure of enterprises and promoted technological innovation and industrial upgrading." According to statistics, Deep Sea Sapiens will enjoy a cumulative additional deduction of more than 3.82 million yuan in research and development expenses in 2023, providing a solid financial guarantee for the smooth progress of the project.
Coincidentally, Guangdong Lingdu Intelligent Technology Development Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Lingdu Intelligent") is also constantly exploring the road of "small and fine", completing multiple iterations of the domestic machine "Spider-Man", and launching the world's first mass-produced commercial high-altitude curtain wall cleaning robot "Lingkong 1.0", and taking the lead in compiling the national group standard "High-altitude Curtain Wall Cleaning Robot". "The original intention of our research and development is to solve the problems of high risk, low efficiency, difficulty in hiring, and environmental pollution in traditional manual operations. At present, we have successfully developed three series of products, Lingkong, Lingjing and Lingguang, with an average daily cleaning volume of 1,200-2,000 square meters, achieving a cleaning efficiency that is three times that of manual labor." When talking about the future of industrial development, Huang Junsheng, general manager of Lingdu Intelligent, is full of confidence. "We are currently deploying the technical research and development of obstacle-crossing robots, with the goal of increasing the product scenario applicability of intelligent cleaning robots to 50%. In the future, we will continue to consolidate our leading position in the curtain wall cleaning robot industry, and strive to enter the top three in the market share of photovoltaic panel cleaning robots."
Laying out future tracksImagine Robot Mobilization
How to make intelligent robots more human-like? The key lies in the robot system integration technology at the downstream of the industrial chain. Through the upgrade and evolution of system integration technology, the robot's autonomous perception, decision-making, control and execution can be made intelligent, autonomous and flexible, breaking the current bottleneck of robot application scenarios and enhancing the basic support capabilities of "robot +" applications.
On this track leading to the intelligent era, it is not uncommon to spend more than ten years to sharpen a sword. Founded in 2011, Guangzhou Puhua Lingdong Robot Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Puhua Lingdong") is one of the earliest companies to enter the mobile robot industry. It focuses on the deep integration and customization of mobile robots and digital intelligence systems. It now has more than 200 categories of products, which are sold to many regions at home and abroad. "All the way to today, we have also embarked on a rhythm of rapid development. In 2023, we will achieve operating income of more than 45 million yuan. Not only that, in the past three years, our operating income has maintained a growth rate of nearly 20%." Liu Jiachang, head of Puhua Lingdong, said, "But we also know that adhering to long-termism is the key to the long-term development of the robotics industry. The development of enterprises is getting better and better, and the country's continuous increase in policy support has opened new doors for scientific and technological research and development and market expansion, enabling us to invest more funds and energy in product research and development. Good product quality has further strengthened our confidence in expanding the market." It is reported that in the first half of this year, Puhua Lingdong enjoyed policies such as additional deductions for research and development expenses and preferential income tax rates for high-tech enterprises, and reduced taxes and fees by nearly 2.8 million yuan.
Guangzhou Aimuyi Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Aimuyi Technology") has the same feeling as Puhua Lingdong. "The iteration of robot system integration requires a lot of data operation and repeated testing. To do this well, you need a new craftsman spirit." Liang Xiaoli, the financial director of Aimuyi Technology, said. Aimuyi Technology is one of the few companies in the world with high-precision robot software system capabilities. It provides companies with overall solutions and technical services for surgical robots. So far, it has served more than 200 companies. "Since the establishment of the chief tax officer, our tax affairs have become more and more convenient and efficient. If we have any tax issues, we only need to consult in the corporate tax service group, and the chief tax officer will give us answers in a timely manner. More importantly, the chief tax officer will customize the tax policy push according to the company's development stage, solve our tax doubts in a timely manner, and help us step on the node and take off quickly." Liang Xiaoli praised.
In fact, the vision of bringing robots into the lives of ordinary people has gradually become a reality. Blue Ocean AGV intelligent robot sales account for 30% of the national market share, Paibao commercial service robots have been successfully exported to dozens of countries and regions around the world, and there are also Ligong Industrial composite robots that can be used in the aerospace field, Dahua CloudGinger humanoid intelligent service robots that can perform fine operations such as dancing and intelligent grasping, etc. Guangzhou's robot industry cluster has provided strong support for the intelligent and high-end transformation of the manufacturing industry in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Its sales range covers the whole country and even the world, and has played a leading and exemplary role in the full-chain development of the robot industry.
With the continuous deepening of "robot +" applications in key areas, robots are accelerating their integration into hundreds of industries and households, and are "showing their prowess" in many application scenarios such as education, elderly care services, commercial community services, etc. It is not difficult to imagine that in the near future, the scene of robots mobilizing will become a reality, and robots will be busy in production workshops, supermarkets, communities and even family life, composing infinite possibilities for the intelligent future.
